Black hole

I'm not alone,

But that doesn't change a thing,

Smiles pass right through me,

Words walk around me,

Even surrounded by friend,

My heart still feels empty.

I disappear,

Craving to be found,

I stay away,

Wishing they would pull me back,

I've got a million things to say,

But not one soul will hear them,

There's a black hole in my heart,

Feeding on the good,

Until there is none left,

Just a hole in the place of love and touch.

So I read to escape,

Live another life,

But everywhere I go,

The darkness pulls me deeper,

The light leaves me alone,

Demons dance around my mind,

Taunting me,

Telling me what I already know,

I'm all alone.
